LONDON (AA) – The High Court in Northern Ireland ruled Friday the British government will not need approval from parliament before triggering legislation to start the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.
A summary of Friday’s judgment confirmed there were two separate applications: an individual one by a private NI citizen, Raymond McCord, and another by a group of politicians from various parties.
They had lodged cases in August seeking a judicial review of the government’s intention to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
